    I miss my MP3!!!!

    If I could find on stock with low miles I would buy it and just keep it in the garage. They are the most amazing cars ever made. ;) I owned a 3 years ago and really like it , but you are correct it is no MP3. I drive a Mazda5 now. I do like the van/car thing a lot!!! Not sure I can ever go...

    Post pics of your Mazda5

    Here is my 2006 with 44K. Just got this car a month ago and I LOVE IT! It will work great with the twins that are on the way. Figured I would throw in a pic of the wifes VooDoo Blue Release Series XB with the 5 after their bath/wax.

    MZ5 hail damage questions.

    Living in Texas we get hail damage during this time. In fact we had a storm come through last night that had mellon/softball size hail. (I was an hour away from it so my cars are good.) I had my Protege Mazdaspeed at work a couple years ago and it got into a hail storm. Took it to a body repair...

    Do you have another "non-family" car in the driveway? Looking at getting a second car

    I say drive the ZO6 for as long as you can. I know you don't care for American cars but you can get a corvette at a good price, gas millage is not bad, and they are not hard to work on. Plus it would be great for the image and a nice date night car. That is what I would get if I was looking for...

    Thinking of getting a Mazda5....... Babies on the way!

    Figured I would give an update on things so far. First I noticed that what this thing lacks in HP it totally makes up for in cup holders. I have more cup holders in this thing for everyone to have 2 if all seats are full. ;) I got the DVD player working so that is good. Still working on the...

    Thinking of getting a Mazda5....... Babies on the way!

    PB I will have to shoot you a PM and see where in DFW you are at! Having another Mazda5 guy close would be nice to shoot stuff off of. 1) Figure I will try to get it working, if not I need to find something to cover the whole. 3.) Let me know what you are asking for it. Does it play CD's. I...

    Thinking of getting a Mazda5....... Babies on the way!

    Carfax runs clean but yes there is a ding in the rear there. I think it can be popped out pretty easy. I am guessing when that happened the just had the rear bumper repainted/replaced also. It was an older guys so I am guessing he backed into something. Mechanical it sounds good and runs...

    Thinking of getting a Mazda5....... Babies on the way!

    Well still have not purchased anything yet. Keep going back and forth between this and SUV's and full size vans, but keep coming back to the Mazda5. I heard that the 2008 had a different transmission, is that correct? Found a 2008 Sport with 113K for 6500 that looks to be in good shape. :|

    Thanks! Yes it is a lot and I was really in a daze the first day we found out. Now I am really excited and hoping everything goes well. We have our 10 week appointment next week. Once all is good there I will really start looking for a car. It appears the mazda5 is the way to go unless I do a...
